Could you build this?

No Building a functional 3D CAD modeling tool for 3D printing requires deep domain knowledge in computational geometry, topological boundary representations, and manifold mesh generation.

What it would actually take: Requires a WebAssembly-compiled geometric modeling kernel (like Open CASCADE or Manifold), WebGL/WebGPU rendering, and interactive parametric constraint solvers. The hard part is executing robust boolean operations and filleting on 3D geometry without producing non-manifold errors that break slicers.
